MiG-29M intakes, don’t ask me, ask Gaijin
Oh yeah, Tornado ADV is quite fun to play and i also shilled out for a Roman shield livery for F-16

Italians just saw a jet that looks like one big thick strand of spaghetti and just couldn’t restrain themselves
I don’t know yet, I need to think about it.
I have some questions about the approach to RWR, where if the documentation doesn’t specify anything, you’ll still get precise azimuth display at the stated elevation angle in the game.
And personally, I have questions about how you can achieve 60 or 90 degrees of coverage without installing additional antennas.
So, for the SPO-15, the document might have specified ±90 degrees, and if we didn’t know the specifics, we would have gotten an azimuth definition of ±90 degrees in elevation.
There’s a suspicion that most RWRs still have a limited irradiation pattern at angles greater than ±30.

you can see additional antennas on SM2 tho. One is on the spine, other is under the chin.
Spine mounted one is even modelled in WT

I agree that this is most likely the case,
I’m not exactly sure what these antennas are, and I was speaking in general terms.
We already have a number of aircraft with 360 RWR, and a large list has now been given ±60.

No one is, but i haven’t seen anything in Russian arsenal that uses knob-like antennas outside of L-150.
Interestinly enough, Su-35S doesn’t have them (at least airframes with close up shots that i could find)
Also i am quite late to the party, but isn’t entirety of the Su-27SM, 30SM and 30SM2 have wrong tail antennas kit? I’ve only looked at it closely since we started to talk about L-150.
30MKs have correct L-150 knobs right above the rudders facing outwards.
here they are on a Su-27SM photo
but in-game we have something weird
The knob on the bottom isn’t modelled tho right?
I think the report also made mention of it missing.
yeah, right now it is not modelled. But looking at the mess of tail antennas - i am not entirely surprised
These 3D inaccuracies seem to take quite a while, so I don’t really expect them to aknowledge and directly implement them when pointed out.
Few examples:
The canard tilt and wing root gap took almost 10 months.
The HUD of the Sm2 took 3 months basically.
The correct tail countermeasure displacement is not here yet.
I guess we’ll have to see how the managers react to this RWR report first, then maybe some antenna rework might be needed as well.

it’s even worse for Su-30SM, again, you can see L-150 knobs in the same exact place as on Su-27SM.
gaijin gave us… i’m not 100% sure but i think that double knob thingie is a part of SPO-15 antennas set
Spo-15 layout on su-27sk from its manual
Looks like you’re correct (check 6, double antenna right there)

Fantastic attention to details, gaijin. It’s almost like they deliberately make Flankers wrong

i wonder how big are elevation angle antennas (number 4), trying to find them on Su-27 photos
Su-30SM2 move to 1st line after Yak-141
Change class on stat card after update dev server, or before planned technical works to main server
Jet Fighter → Jet Fighter / Naval Aircraft
It is not a naval aircraft. It is in the inventory of Russian navy, but it is a coastal aviation, operates from ground airfields
